In an interview to , Sanjay talked about his journey in Indian cinema and why he feels he is underutilised."It's been 20 years and I have survived without a Rs 100-crore film! My journey has been satisfying, I got to do films that I will take to my grave. Be it 'My Brother Nikhil' or 'Pinjar' or 'Dhoop' these films will stay with me. I have always tried to be a part of subjects that were ahead of the time and relevant. But I feel that I am underutilised as an actor.
"When I actually produced my first film, I realised it depends not just upon talent. A lot of other things are taken into consideration while making a movie. It depends upon an economic casting, especially the star meter the status of the stars. So I have no issue. It's just that I feel I could have been blended into many different genres of films," he said.
Sanjay, who appeared in the web show "Leila" earlier this year, feels OTT has opened a door of opportunities for actors.
"Digital is giving a lot of space to writers and actors and it is quite democratic. More stories are being explored and more actors are getting a chance to showcase their skills. It's a great time for Indian cinema," he said.
On the film front, Sanjay has recently featured in Jhalki", a film based on the issue of child labour and human trafficking. He will next be seen as a professional cuddler in the short film "Call Him Eddy".
